I had VB 5.2 installed and was trying to install guest additions so I could see shared folders from my host. I followed this guide and ran sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso and somehow that uninstalled VB 5.2. So, I installed VB from the software center, which I forgot was 5.0 and ...

Mate all the way :D Adopt Mate and he will become your best MATE :lol: <... runs away before the flames engulf me....> Mate, while good and fairly easy to use, is too simplistic looking. Say what you will about Windows 10....it feels "modern". That's kind of how I feel about Gnome and Pantheon. I a...

In his op he mentions settings found withing the "login" settings, ergo its implied he found the appropriate settings. Where do you read in the starting post the word "login"? I don't find it and my browser, doing a site search, does not find it also. I meant to put 'lockscreen' in quotes. See, its...

You'll find this in the 'login' settings, I believe. Not in anything called 'lockscreen'. I can't find settings under that name. Some more questions: In which field exactly did you define the picture? (A screenshot might help to clear this up.) You did surely not do this in the lockscreen settings,...

Please tell me the significant details about cinnamon and mate, and why someone should choose one or the other. Unfortunately, the Linux Mint website offers no descriptive information to guide someone to choose one or the other, which is strange. I am considering installing one of them on a Dell i7...

Hi all. My day-to-day computer runs Linux Mint, but I have another computer which also has Linux Mint installed on it. Before I installed Linux Mint on this other computer, it had a version of Windows 10 on it which had become defunct. No matter how many times I tried to reinstall Windows 10 on thi...

i know its under system settings and lockscreen, and it lets me change the color, but when i put in a picture, it dont show up, just a solid color. any way to fix this? thanks! I have a few questions. First, do you have multiple desktop environments installed? For me, when I changed from Cinnamon, ...

So I installed Mint 18.3 on my Samsung ativ 9 and it works fine except for the touch screen. I typically install via uefi, but I was running into problems with it a few weeks ago, so I opted for the traditional install. I have previously installed 18.1 and 18.2, as well as Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04, and 1...

I love Diablo! It's still my favorite. I also have Diablo II, and it's ok, but I still prefer the original. And as for Diablo III... nah. I've watched demos, but it might just as well be any other 3D game. Also, I don't have the hardware for it. Never tried playing it with a controller, though. I'm...

So my son has recently decided he wants to play games over LAN. For my computer, a Home Theater PC, I only have a Logitech K400 keyboard with trackpad and 4 xbox 360 controllers. I'm looking for something I can play with a controller and he can use mouse and keyboard or controller. We've been playin...

4.13.0-32-generic GNU/Linux and VB 5.0.4 Known not to play nice together.... Either remove VB 5.0.40 and manually install 5.1 or 5.2 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads or install the latest 4.4 series kernel and remove any 4.8, 4.10 and 4.13 kernels having booted into 4.4 and conf...

...logs are under .config/VirtualBox & also in a folder named 'Logs' located there where your VM images are stored (eg. /home/borg101/mywindows10testvm/Logs)... nothing in either location. Which version of VB do you use in Mint? I do a guess: 5.0.x? Next question (just for completeness): Which kern...

on mint there is an older version of gnome shell, unlike ubuntu 17.10 , however, i have install it with sudo apt install gnome-shell gnome-session gnome-tweak-tool gnome-control-center nautilus and then logout/login and I select GNOME session Worked like a charm! Thanks for the update. I love gnome...

I have ran into a problem with a Windows 7 VM that had worked under Ubuntu 17.04/17.10, Mint 18.2, 18.1, elementaryOS 0.4, and others but locked up my system under Mint 18.3 (both cinnamon and gnome DE's). At first I chalked it up to changes in 18.3. So I tried creating a brand new Windows 10 VM.......

If it's a Ubuntu based distro, they have a section for other distros. BTW Ubuntu has the BEST user support, period, esp. for newbies where nothing else is even close (I'm an ex ubuntu user at the moment btw). But the Other Distros section support isn't as good as the regular section. It's so good t...

So, in the past year or so since I completely ditched Windows I've played with a ton of different distrobutions. Regardless of popularity, I seem to have trouble getting any help on their respective forums. Is there a subforum here where I may post questions regarding other distrobutions? You folks ...

So xkill is helpless if it's the Xorg system itself that has thrown the wobbly... it may never receive the keypress. Possibly something more sinister ...
